Dawson knox dropped like 11 passes last year. Hes looking at tyler eifert money currently unless he takes MASSIVE steps forward. 5

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 I'm tying to figure out where KC is getting this cap space. If the cap does decrease KC will be hurt the most by it and might have to release Mahomes. 3
Orlando Buffalo Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 When I saw a headline that he was redefining the tight end market I thought it was gonna be 100 million total. This contract seems like a normal deal for a guy who averages 90 catches a year

Poleshifter Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 Kittle just got $15M/yr, average. And Kelce gets $14.25/yr ? Wow.

Most of the otehr deals are like that too. But they'll have to do some maneuvering down the line.

If the cap does decrease KC will be hurt the most by it and might have to release Mahomes. Expand A few years ago, KC was in cap purgatory. They got there by giving too much up front money and over estimating the growth of the cap. They learned a tough lesson. It looks like the Kelce contract doesn't have a big spend up front. With the structure of the Mahomes contract and his importance to the franchise, they would literally cut every other player on their team before they would ever touch Mahomes. When you look at the players that they have drafted, they are preparing for life without some of their veterans with expensive contracts or big future pay demands. Tyreek Hill will be looking for big money and the presence of Hardman on the roster will give KC the option to cut a good deal or let him walk. They will be forced to let some veterans go, like they did with Morse but they seem to have low cost replacements in place.

Veach is big on giving players extensions that put them at top of the market by current salary standards but will be below scale by the time the cap hits come due. The salary cap is like the tax code. There’s a way around just about everything if you’re clever enough to figure it out.

KC has decided how it wants to form it's team. They want 9-10 high priced players and after that a bunch of rookie contracts and low level players. A lot of teams take that path.
